The developers of the highly anticipated skateboarding title, Skate, have rolled out a comprehensive new patch aimed at refining the core player experience. Update 1.000.018, deployed across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and Nintendo Switch platforms, directly addresses a swath of player-reported issues ranging from frustrating trick execution to problematic map geometry and in-game purchase stability.<\/p>\n
At the heart of this update are numerous fixes designed to make the act of skating feel more responsive and reliable. Players had reported that certain foundational tricks were not behaving as expected, a problem the development team has now tackled head-on.<\/p>\n
A primary focus was on smoothing out the trick system. The patch specifically fixes an issue where low pop tricks were unintentionally difficult to perform, which should make basic ollies and similar maneuvers more consistent. Another nagging problem\u2014players sometimes being unable to exit a grind without popping\u2014has been resolved, offering greater control during complex lines.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the update eliminates several movement bugs that could break immersion. Players will no longer find themselves reset in mid-air after repeatedly bouncing on Quick Drop Objects, nor will they get stuck in an awkward air Coffin position after releasing input buttons. These corrections are crucial for maintaining the game’s flow, especially during intricate parkour or trick sequences.<\/p>\n
Beyond character control, the physical world of Skate has received important attention. The patch notes highlight targeted fixes on the Isle of Grom map, a popular area that contained several environmental hazards.<\/p>\n
One specific fix addresses a raised bump on a ramp in the Lower Spillway that was hindering gameplay, likely disrupting smooth transitions and grinds. More critically, the developers have sealed several holes in the terrain that could cause players to fall through the map entirely. Such glitches not only interrupt gameplay but can also lead to lost progress or failed challenges, making their resolution a high priority for community satisfaction.<\/p>\n
Update 1.18 also brings vital stability to the game’s economy and reward systems, areas where bugs can have real-world consequences for players.<\/p>\n
A particularly serious bug involved the skate.Premium Pass, where players could rarely be charged twice for a single purchase. The patch not only fixes the underlying cause but also adds a new layer of player protection. An error message will now notify users if the double-charge issue is triggered. Most importantly, the developers have confirmed they have processed refunds for players who were previously affected by this overcharge, demonstrating a commitment to fair play.<\/p>\n
The update rectifies several issues preventing players from receiving earned accolades. Problems that blocked some Achievements or Trophies from unlocking correctly have been addressed. Additionally, a specific issue that prevented the “Barrel Jumper” title from being awarded through certain subscription reward packs has been fixed. The patch notes confirm that all eligible players should now receive this title upon updating the game.<\/p>\n
Quality-of-life improvements extend to the user interface and performance on older console generations. Players had been frustrated by settings that would not save, resetting to default values after restarting the game. Update 1.18 improves the reliability of saving player settings and fixes the reset bug, allowing for a more personalized and stable setup.<\/p>\n
On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a bug where performing a Held trick resulted in an unintended double trick and board adjustment has been corrected, bringing parity and smoother gameplay to these platforms. The patch also includes the standard suite of general stability and performance improvements aimed at reducing crashes and ensuring smoother frame rates across all supported systems.<\/p>\n
While this substantial update addresses many critical issues reported since the last major patch, the development cycle for a live-service game like Skate is continuous. The patch notes acknowledge that the team is aware of other lingering issues, suggesting that player feedback continues to shape the roadmap. This latest deployment underscores a focused effort to solidify the game’s foundational mechanics and economy, ensuring that the virtual skatepark is both fun and fair for everyone sessioning it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
